So heres the story. I live in a house, and my bedroom is in the basement. I have no reception in 98% of the room. I literally have reception on one corner of my computer desk and one corner of my bed. Ive been getting around this by using tmobile hotspot service on blackberrys ive used in the past. Recently ive been using iphones, winmo, and android devices, none of which support the hotspot service. I just wanted to know if any of you guys have any suggestions for something that would help me get reception in my room. I see things on ebay but one costs 20, and another 600. I am just so confused.
The stickers some sell as an antenna booster are useless
I have bad reception on my house also (not as bad as you )
And to date I have not found a good cheap solution to improve signal
There are cellular repeaters, which recieve, then amplify cellular signals, but they're not terribly cheap and I've never used one, so I don't know if they work well or not. Plus, you need to make sure they support T-Mobile (they should). Good luck,
Dave
So after using a D1 since release day I finally got tired of it lack of ram and rom memory and upgraded to a Thunderbolt the day it came out. At first I was thrilled with it. Now.. not so much. Battery life is not so good and developer progress has been sort of slow with lots of hold ups. Not too mention the awful direction Verizon seems to be headed in bloating and locking down their devices. So I've been considering switching to Sprint. When I found out yesterday that turtle giving a $125 credit to new subscribers that port their old number.... well needless to say once I get back from this deployment in June I'm ditching my Thunderbolt and getting my fiancée and myself two NS4G's, the feat news being that it'll only be $40 more a month for both phones than it was for the one thunderbolt!
So anyway.. my questions.
I was blindsided by a few things on the thunderbolt and I'm not looking for a repeat exerience with the new phones.
I know the 4g isn't gorilla glass but is he screen very scratch resistant? I ran my d1 without a protector for 1 1/2 years without a single scratch. The Tbolt screen isn't so durable...
Screen technology... how many different kind of screens are there for the NS? which one(s) does the NS4G have?
Car mounts? I have bought one for each of my phones... I love them. Are there any OEM ones or really good ones for the NS4G?
Reviews indicate that battery life is pretty good? Does user experience back this up?
Pound for pound would you rather have the NS4G or the Thunderbolt? Also Sprint has 4g where I work and live... VZW not so much.
Ty in advance to any helpful replies or links. I've been sifting for info and haven't much specifically about the 4g and I apologize for all the questions. Just feel like I got burned one the thunderbolt and do t want to repeat that experience.
This isn't the answer to one of your questions, but be warned that Sprint's 3G coverage has degraded lately (they lost a roaming contract) and 4G isn't in all cities yet. Heck it isn't even in all major cities yet.
I love my ns4g. Came from an evo. sprint service isnt as good as the big v, but they have chepper plans. 4g is still a battery killer. but i get is light years above the evo and TB (my girl has one)
i always use zagg screan protectors so cant help you there
Even on 3g only the TB battery life sucks... and the notification light is so useless you might as well not even have one so getting a phone without one won't be so hard.
The only thing I know that is going to suck is soon the Nexus 3 will be out. I guess I just have to ensure I set enough money back to buy it at full price when it does Gonna keep digging thru the forum trying to figure stuff out on this phone in the meantime.
Do you highly recommend the ZAGG products? and how easy are they to install and not **** it up?
I actually sold my Thunderbolt and ditched Verizon for the NS4G. I have zero regrets. Yes, coverage(service) is not as good, although acceptable. The radio on the 4G is standard Samsung, meaning it doesnt get as good a signal as the HTC or MOTO devices(this is a topic of debate, some say its the AOSP that causes it, I disagree).Ive had a screen protector on it since I pulled it out of the box, so cant answer ya there. Battery life hasnt been great for me, I am rooted though and running a custom kernel, not oc'd though. My Bolt got a little better battery life. The NS4G is a very good fit in the hand, I felt the Bolt was just a tad to much in the hand, although I loved the screen.
Overall, the Pro's outweigh the Con's. If you get the NS4G, I doubt you will regret it. The Bolt is a great idea, poorly executed and rushed though. I found it buggy and a little overhyped pre-release.
This is just my 2 cents.
Off topic....
The title of the thread reads like Yoda to me.

According to sprints coverage made they have good 4g signal where I live and work... I'm just so sick and tired of waiting for android goodness too "trickle down" to me via a dev who has a life/job/kids. Nothing wrong with that and I love everything the community does but I can't take not getting the stuff that makes android cool without having to jump thru a million hoops.
Hopefully the service won't be too bad, and hey! If enough of us leave VZW's oppressive ways Sprint is bound to get better.. right?

so would this explain why even though I'm getting full bars 3g, it's so god dang slow?? sprint told me there were tower issues in my area and techs would look at it. but if the lost roaming contract is the cause of this, then i'm just gonna jump ship stats.
to the op, i came from an EVO to the dell streak. i actually missed the smaller screen bc i got tired of holding those big phones. the biggest advantage imo is that the nexus s has a perfect screen size for viewing and holding. feels great in the hand as the curves and the lighter weight allows your hand to better wrap around and grip the phone without fatigue or cramping.
most importantly, go for whatever service is best for you. sounds like sprint is a no-brainer. unfortunately in my area, sprint 4g is non-existant and 3g has seemingly gone down the hole.
I'll play on this. Coming from a evo, epic, g2, iphone 4, now back to sprint and got the NS4G. I finally feel like i have a phone that i dont "FEEL" The need to sell to get something better at this moment. Mainly because its a full google phone. No middle man, no waiting, and once more devs hop on this phone, your going to love it! Far as scratching i didnt even want to test it out i cop the full body zagg ASAP so i cant help you there. In all honestly the evo has messed me up about these other htc copies that are coming on other carriers. All may have better specs in some areas, but i still feel like its a evo copy cat IMO. Nothing to make me switch carriers for, or be like "Yea that's better than my evo" But if the service is good in your area and it doesnt gets on your nerves, then welcome to the nexus s family!
I had the Thunderbolt and am now using a Nexus S 4G.
I liked the Thunderbolt a lot. I have very good LTE coverage so speeds were blazing fast. The battery wasn't so good. I was using the extended battery and was getting about 20 hours of usage.
The phone was too big and heavy though, so when the Nexus S 4G came out I switched and am glad I did!
The form factor of the Nexus is a lot better. Battery is decent, got 10 hours today with 3 hours of screen time, and with 4G on all day.
I love the SAMOLED, mainly because of the blacks. I have a black theme on my phone and it looks amazing!
Downside is that the Nexus has less RAM. It has 512MB but it seems that only 350MB is accessible by apps. I have noticed some lag on it VS the Thunderbolt with 768MB of RAM.
I'm glad I made the switch. Gingerbread is awesome, and so is the google talk video chat.
For the car mount, check out the Kensington K39256US. It is made for the iPhone but works great with the Nexus S. It's cheap on amazon.
4G brute
Got a scratch on the screen and I'm really careful with my phones. Always in a dedicated pocket, maybe caught on a button while going in? Still, never scratched the front of my phone before. Hopefully not a sign, lets see what else happens within 30 days, then back to Best Buy!
Also, zagg is cool, but the price is high and the texture sucks. I use skinomi. Similar material, no orange peel, and only $16 shipped after a 25% coupon online. Its actually pretty simple to install given u follow directions and are patient with it.

hey in case you were planning on the ns4g soon, wirefly has a deal where its $99 on new contract, no activation/shipping charges, and no taxes. Thats $99 OTD, paying what the TMo guys are paying for theirs now on contract
I was thinking about picking up an at&t ns bc my sprint service is kinda slow here, but for $99, i'll stick with it. actually just ordered mine, and gonna take my current ns4g back to best buy where i payed $263 OTD...savings of $163
To the OP.. I would SERIOUSLY think of two things
Check your coverage.. Sprints coverage has been dramatically sliced recently: http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/281992#281992
#2... You know those 3G speeds you got on Verizon? Sprint calls that 4G.. 3G on Sprint is annoying to say the least since these coverage loses.

The antenna issues I'm reading about are kinda scaring me as well....
ok, im getting the onslaught of crappy G2 refurbs, so im considering a new device and the only 2 i will consider is the G2x (might have to pay full retail for it) or another MT4G (already had one, would hate to get another because i already had it but tmo will substitute it for free)
im conflicted with leaving the G2 because it has a keyboard, and overall my biggest issue, but a 4incher may not be too bad, and for that ill have to try out for myself to see if it is suitable.
as for other things, this is where i have questions:
from 4 different internet reviews like cnet, engadget, etc all said battery life in stock form exceeded their expectations by lasting a whole day under medium heavy use, so im just wondering if others are getting the same basic battery life
how is the speaker for ringers on this device? the G2 speaker sounds like some cheap 80's walkman. its not a deal killer, but i would like to know if its better. hard to demo since i dont use stock ringers so i wont have a way to really compare.
screen response, i have read the screen is really sensitive, the G2 screen is not horrid but not impressive either....the MT4G is a lot more sensitive compared to the G2, and going from the MT4G to a G2 is probably what spoiled me on the screen sensitivity. can anyone throw some input on this or confirm that the reviews are accurate?
call quality....this seems to be the number one con on this phone according to reviews online....can someone throw in their 2 cents on this? this is concerning me the most as the G2 call quality is very good, the MT4G call quality was ok but the G2 i found was a lot better.
outdoor screen visibility. this is the other big deal breaker...the G2 in daylight just plain sucks...period. its practically useless even on full brightness, this is the number one reason that will make it easier for me to sacrifice the physical keyboard.
also, after reading this thread, i have some major concerns about the rebooting and freezing and overheating...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081180 are newer built devices doing better than the original release shipments?
G2 with CM7 has very impressive battery life...crushes the G2x.
G2 speaker sounds like my old handheld 1984 green football game with 4 blinking red lights. The G2x sounds like a 2000's walkman, it's serviceable The iPod touch sounds much better...
Screen sensitivity is awesome on the G2x. I never had a problem with the G2, but it's improved here.
No issues with call quality on the G2x for me. My only issue has been with data reception...it's worse than my Nexus S...and I can't get the thing to tether worth a damn. My laptop connects to the hotspot, but never gets internet.
Outdoor screen visibility is unmatched on the G2x.
No reboot/freeze issues here.

pretty much spot on... only extra remark i will make is the battery is that i am almost certain battery life will improve once we get an OTA update including new battery and radio drivers, something is a little off or wonky about them...
assuming you know what you are doing, you should be able to get 20-30 hours of light to moderate use no problem... i got 36 hours of light use on one charge switching between wifi and 4g depending where i was at...
I am lucky to see 12 hour day on stock battery on my G2 running cm7. On my extended battery tho it was awesome.

I tether my Xoom to my G2X with absolutely no problem. If the wifi network is even relatively slow, the hotspot is usually a better option for me. Although the device does get a little warm.
Lg at least from a verizon standpoint was always good and solid and reliable, which a reason why I was considering the g2x....I read about a lot of negative stuff about the g2x and not in a way where I have to search either...I can't seem to find proper specs on the screen tho on what type it is.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
How does an ips panel compare to an amoled or super amoled etc?
I checked it out in the store its not too bad, but data was not provisioned on the device so I couldn't try it out. General signal seemed identical side by side when looking at the signal meter.
Audio was a night and day difference
Typing seemed ok, but I think I have a mental block with the physical keyboard.
I'm on the edge with it, and when I asked the sales person about problems he seemed shaky but did say it reset a lot and a simple battery pull would fix that until it does it again.

Yesterday, I purchased a HTC Sensation from Walmart. I spent the day comparing it to my G2X (which I still have) and decided to see how the phones stack up against each other. The following are my observations:
Screen: I think this one comes down to preference. It's a hard call saying which one looks better than the other. The Sensation did not have any backlight bleeding (my G2X has minimal bleeding). When looking at the same picture on both phones side by side, the G2X seemed to be brighter. The viewing angles on the Sensation were not as extreme as on the G2X, but they were fine (unless your were looking at it from an extreme unnatural angle lol)
Performance: After having used a G2X since it came out, it took a little bit of getting used to the way the Sensation performs. That's not to say it's slow by any means (because it isn't), it just performs differently than the G2X. The Sensation has a lot of transition animations that the G2X doesn't have and this can make it feel slower than the G2X. For example, when you hit the home button on the G2X it takes you straight to the launcher, whereas when you hit the home button on the Sensation it fades into the launcher which takes about a split second longer. After a while I turned the animations setting on "some animations" because I prefer the snappiness of not having so many transitions than having all the eye candy. Of course this is just a personal preference. I'm sure there are plenty of people who will appreciate the eye candy. In using the phone I did not experience any slowdowns or lag. The phone was very responsive. All in all, I'd say both phones are on par with each other when it comes to responsiveness.
Sound: The Sensation wins this one easily. The sound on the G2X is very tinny and gets easily somewhat distorted. While the speakers on the Sensation aren't as good as some phones I've had (such as the Nexus S) they are definitely a higher quality than that of the G2X. The G2X does get a little bit louder than the Sensation, but it's sound quality is not on the same level.
Camera: The camera on the Sensation definitely responds faster than that of the G2X. As far as clarity goes, both phones take pretty decent pictures. I don't really see a world of difference between the two phones. I am pretty satisfied with the cameras on both phones.
Battery Life: Since I have only had the Sensation for one day I can't really speak to in depth on it's battery life. That being said, I will say this, I took the phone off of the charger with the battery around 80%ish and I had 3 hours of phone conversation, about 10 minutes shy of two hours of screen on time, push exchange email, facebook syncing, texting, and web browsing and the battery lasted me a little over 6 hours. This leads me to believe that the battery life on the Sensation is better than that of the G2X. My G2X in the same scenario would have died out much sooner than that.
Conclusion: It's hard for me to say which phone is "better". If you were trying to decide on a phone that was ready to go today, I would say go with the Sensation. Though I've only had it for a day, I did play with it extensively and I did not find any bugs. On my first day of having the G2X, I had already had multiple reboots and freezing. The Sense UI is a bit of an adjustment when coming from vanilla android but it is definitely very nice and very well implemented. The one gripe that I do have with the Sensation is that for some reason it doesn't seem to support bluetooth voice dialing natively. I noticed the leaked G2X gingerbread rom has the same problem so I'm not sure if it's a gingerbread problem or what. Hopefully this thread helps those that might be on the fence between the two phones. If there is anything that I missed that you want to know, just let me know.

Thanks for the great review. I have been considering purchasing a Sensation to go with my G2X. AFter reading a lot of reviews I had decided against it. After reading your review I am back on the fence again as to whether to buy it off contract or not.lol Would be interested in your findings after about a week . Once again thanks for posting an honest objective review!!!!!
Have you tried the death grip on this? Supposedly covering the back of the phone with your palm kills all the radio signals.

Yeah I've tried to replicate it but really couldn't. Now if I deliberately cover the phone in a way to intentionally block the signal then yeah you can lose signal, but of course that is true on every phone lol. I think whoever decided that to be an "issue" might have been someone just looking to fine problems, because I don't see any way possible you could unintentionally do that.

I don't actually believe you can do it with every phone to the same extent. Like the iPhone 4 with the Sensation, your skin comes into direct contact with the antenna (or at least the cover which houses it) which causes MORE attenuation then say the G2X.
In the G2X the antenna is inside the phone and then there's a battery cover between it and your hands so your skin/hands NEVER touch the antenna. With the Sensation your fingers touch the antenna (exact issue as iPhone 4) so it will cause a disruption to your signal greater than the G2X.
Even if I cover my G2X completely with a deathgrip I don't see anything close to the results that gsmarena video shows. Not saying this is a dealbreaker but don't fool yourself to say this isn't a possible problem depending on how you hold your phone.

The Sensation death grip is supposedly only for WiFi and Bluetooth (the two holes near the camera). Every report I've seen indicates the cell radio is not impacted...at least that is my understanding.
Well now it's a deathgrip thread. Wack.
Great review.
Gotta say I did like the sensation. It's a tad heavier then the g2x and I really liked that.
I only got to play with one for a minute but I loved the screen. I think it's got a really nice screen.
I did notice lag. The app drawer did have a slight delay before it would open.
Not a the fade out effect it does. Also the weather app was nice. Really like that.
But my g2x is faster.
Really that's all. The g2x is just as nice feeling.
Now the kicker.
I would just use adw ex on either phone. And I love the speed of the g2x.
Either phone would make me happy. But until I get gingerbread on my g2x is can't give an honest opinion.
Because my g2x is faster on 2.2. Has no issues but screen bleed. That never bothers me
So when 2.3 drops.
I was actually looking at the evo 3d now.
I may have to check it out.

I would think even if the death grip exists, the vast majority of superphone owners use a protective case, so that should really never be a major issue.
To the OP.... thanks a BUNCH for your real world comparison! That's exactly the kind of info I needed. I'll still be within my exchange window when the Sensation hits T-Mo stores on the 15th and I'm still undecided if I want to return my G2X. The screen size and resolution of the Sensation is very appealing to me
I don't know, I'm hearing that there are quite a few problems with the Sensation. A buddy of mine got one yesterday and his is locking up and randomly rebooting on him. He's had problems with the GPS locking on and also says the audio leaves a lot to be desired.
Also, if you go to the Sensation forum here on XDA you can see that people are reporting various problems. One that concerns me is several people are reporting that dust particles are getting in behind their screens. That's not cool at all...

Here's a direct comparison against the SGS2. The phone signal is effected but not to the degree Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are. You'll need to use Google Translate.

Someone posted the fix. That's why I didn't understand what you were trying to do. Kind of stupid on HTC's part.

Having left T-mo with a MT4G to go to *SpRent with the EVO4G and now back with the Mo I was looking for a HTC-ish device. The G2x was the common ground I decided on. I still own 2 Evo4g's (hustler plug) and have been waiting for this Sensation of a deal for T-Mo. Your review seems legit and non biased. Would like to hear what happens within a month of usage though.
"Y a month?" because within in that time, to me, you will have done what ever type of testing (unknowingly) there is to do with the device repeatedly in the many environments you frequent. And been able to post its abilities against the G2x under any and all situations you normally face.
See you in the Future

I've only used the wifi calling a few times so far, but I will say it's been stable.
In other news: I've noticed that the bluetooth signal strength is not as strong as on the G2X. With my G2X I could put the phone on the charger and go upstairs or go outside and get as far as the driveway. With the Sensation I get about half the range that I was getting with the G2X.
who believes that the triumph was worth every penny?

Came from a Hero CDMA. Love the Triumph. It woos me with its large beautiful display and 1gHz processor...
I can say 100% that I love my Triumph. Does everything I want it too - and does it well. The best thing is having been able to give the middle finger to T-Mobile who's receptive tactics sucked me into coming back to them and then didn't live up to their end of the bargain... Good luck collecting the ETF - I'll be including the T-Mobile bill in my bankruptcy in January... Sit and spin, T-mobile!

I love it. I'm testing one out because att is tugging me around by the short and curlies and I want to make sure the coverage was sufficient before I made the leap. The coverage isn't amazing, but after ocing to 1.9 the phone is fantastic and I was able to pick it up for $200.
Im still not sure about it......i dont know if i hate the service or the phone......if the phone was great i could deal with the service, if the service was good i could deal with the phone........might just be the beer talkng.....i dont know.
The new teamspeak 3 app is nice though....
Back to my beer......

I'm mostly loving it! It could stand a better battery and I'm aching for Gingerbread, but it's a quality phone and I'm very happy with it!
Love my Triumph! I've owned several PDAs and smarthphones before: Palm; Treo 300, 700 and Pre; Dell Axim; Blackberry Curve; Optimus V; and finally the Triumph. The Triumph is, by far, my favorite of all of these devices. I haven't had any of the issues that others have experienced. I'm finding that I need to log on to my laptop less and less now that I have the Triumph. To me, that's what a smartphone should be: a mobile replacement for the laptop for all but the most CPU-intensive tasks!
Other than the so-so battery life, I'm loving it!
the battery life is pretty much the only thing... So, I charge overnight, and then once I am in the office I plug it in as well. Getting a car charger too. Maybe I just play with it too much.
The other thing is, the headphone volume is weird. Even at level 1, it's too loud to put me to sleep. (I listen to radio in bed). For that I am getting a separate volume control thing...
Otherwise, just love it. Big screen, snappy processor, and the freedom of data everywhere without the big bill.
I really dig this phone even after 3 weeks of getting it. May get another one for sure!!
